Lol,
"I’ve been a bit luckier—I grew up middle class, and fortunately....."
Again IDK if you're trying to make a point with that statement or just didn't read the article. In any case it should come as no surprise that strong family and strong communities tied together with hard work, not luck results in upward mobility in the western class wealth/system.
To call the opposite of that "Luxury beliefs" is a stretch and to propose that the non wealthy are being fooled by those that have wealth, well that is pure classism plain and simple. You could possibly think these untruths could fool the uneducated but it is far more likely a trap set out by those looking to bring down the affluent through their arrogance with this propaganda, eg. The sterotypical "Black Sheeps" of the family lose their families wealth through believing and acting upon these "Foolish, self indulging beliefs".
Misery loves company, when you want to do something right there is nary an angel lifting you up and saying good job, but when you want to do wrong there are a thousand devils cheering you on and dragging you down to their level.
